Discontinued 2006-2007, superseded by the Rinnai XR-Series
Temperature controlled continuous flow gas hot water heaters, with status monitor. Primarily used for residential applications. Six models in the range:
Fitted as standard. Frost protection operates automatically, as long as the appliance is connected to the electrical power supply, by activating when the temperature inside the unit drops below 3.5 °C, and turns off once the temperature inside the unit reaches 7 °C.
